Personal History
Hello. My Name is Regan Fowler.
I am 14 years old. I live in South Eastern North Carolina. I love riding the track!! I go with my dad every time we can. I especially like it when the whole family goes. We take our grill and everything. I also get to ride with my friends. They are all boys!!! Yuuuck!!! I know, right?!!!! LOL!! I see some girls on the track sometimes. But not much. I hope the more I ride the more girls will see and then maybe their dads will buy them a bike. Then we can all race!!!
I usually go to a couple of different tracks in the area. Both are about an hour away. One of them is Half Moon MX park. The other one is the famous Jimmy Weinart Training Facility!!! I have even had the opportunity to train with him!!!!! He made us do push ups, and lots of strength conditioning. Did I mention he is in the Hall Of Fame?!!!! When I see him, he always says hello and is very nice. They call him the "JAMMER"
When we race, there are hardly ever any girls at the track. Well, Im going to change that!!! I am going to try and introduce my sport to more girls. I even spoke to my sister and dad about starting a MX club at school. My sister said " no one at school has a motorcycle! I said, well neither did I until I did!!! Ha Ha! I am going to work on that this year. We start school very soon. Maybe I can get the ball rolling. Maybe I can even introduce it to other schools! I attend a small christian school where I also play volleyball. I play on the middle school team. I also play sand volleyball. My partner and I won a gold medal last week!!! After that, my mom drove me to the track. We had to hurry. It was over an hour away. I was really tired. I got there, but missed the racers meeting. My dad already signed me up. I raced in two different motos. I won first place! Thats two first place finishes in two different sports in a single day! Cool!!!!
My dad and I are also working on a MX brand. I cant tell you a lot about it now. You will have to stay tuned. But what I can say, is we are going to promote our products like t shirts and stickers. We are going to do a Facebook page. We will take our product to the track and try to bring awarness to the charity we choose. Once all the cost of goods has been deducted, all the proceeds will be donate to a charity for kids who can no longer race MX due to injuries.
My MX role model is Ashley Fiolek and Ryan Dungey. Especially Ashley! She rocks. She has taken her handicap and used it to the best of her abilities. She has over come all the obstacles. She rocks!! Maybe one day I can race like her. I will need a lot of practice. Even if I never make it to that level, then maybe I can work on the marketing or promotional side of the sport.
Well, thats a little about me. I will continue to try and get better. I will try to ride safe. I will continue to promote my sport and bring awareness to girls that this is not just a boy thing!!!! Girls rock!!!!!!!
Riding Goals
Some of my goals are to get better each day. Get faster, and ride safe. I also want to learn to jump HIGHER!!!!! (This one is taking some time!!) And maybe beat a few more of the boys!! I would also like to try and introduce riders to Jesus. I can do this at the track and at practice.

Competitive Highlights
One that I remember most was racing against Caleb!!! He made me ride harder and faster!! In the end, I ended up beating him. Also, I did a hole shot and my best friend ran into me and we both about crashed!!! But we made it!!
Hmmmmmmmmm... I will continue to update this one. Too many to choose from.
